After the registration, we sat down to hear the three keynote speeches. 1. Prof. Emer. Dr. Aleya Abdel Hadi from Egypt, 2. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jamalunlaili Abdullah from Malaysia and 3. Prof. Dr. Vimolsiddhi Horayangkura from Thailand. This is the main hall and I took the photo very early before the participants came in.


There were tea/coffee breaks and fresh fruits were always served lavishly. There were pineapples, papayas, rock melons, water guava........


 Also, there were watermelons and more pineapples.......mmmmmmmm yummy........


After keynote addresses, the conference were divided into 3 parallel sessions because the conference had to accommodate 100 paper presenters.



The Conference Dinner   
After conference we were invited to the conference dinner and delegates were encouraged to wear their national costumes. It started with the welcoming speeches, three in all. 


The turnout was very good. The food was delicious, there was a show of local Thai dances and a live band.

As I am a Board Member, I was given a token by the conference committee and I particularly like this floral arrangements of jasmine and other flowers.


Young, beautiful and graceful dancers.Who can blame the men for watching these mesmerizing dancers without batting their eyes?



I was happy to meet new friends from Indonesia.


The committee members from Malaysia and Thailand singing a song together.

The conference dinner was fun and very enjoyable. We had impromptu singers from both camps. And it was a good stress reliever for all.

Finally after 2 days of conferencing, 3 keynote speeches, 100 paper presenters, 4 scrumtious tea/coffee breaks, 2 wonderful lunches and one enjoyable dinner, the Dean of Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, UiTM Shah Alam, Malaysia announced the conference officially closed. 


The conference was a success due to the hardwork of the committee members from Malaysia and Thailand especially the hard work of Prof. Dr. Mohd Yusof Abbas, UiTM and Dr. Nopadom from KMITL, Bangkok. As a participant I am fully satisfied with the running of the conference and I extend my congratulations to all committee members involved.
